Help Needed With First Time PC Specs!

[Arkod8607]

Hey Guys You have probably seen millions of these but I really need help with this PC First Time Build. I have no experience from building but I know the specs of things and if they are compatible but I can't figure out what to do. I am putting together a parts list at a price range of ~1000-1200. I need to have all the basics in the build (WiFi,Bluetooth) but seriously need performance as I will be participating in online tournaments and don't want to rock up looking like a total schmuck with a scrubby HP Pavilion G6. Another few things if can be put in the budget is LED's or other things that make it look cool(Green,Black and Blue Theme gonna spray paint the graphics card. Really like Team Red so stick to that if possible but willing to go Intel for higher FPS. I intend to play games like Chivalry and PayDay 2 in Highish settings with a solid 50-60 fps. I do have a relatively large Steam collection.

 

Really want recommendations from people who have these parts or people who have better similarly priced components

 

The Specs so far are as follows:

AMD FX 8350 4.0 Ghz 8 Core

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Asus M5A97 AM3+

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB DDR3-1866

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM

MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr

Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Full Tower (Really like this case)

Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified

LG CD Player

 

Thanks So Much

Don't go for AMD whatsoever, get a core i5. Also, are you overclocking?

[OAcesync]

Intel is better so go with that.

Dont need 16GB

That SSD is very slow and bad

You can opt for a 390 for better and cheaper

CXs aren't of great quality something from Antec,Seasonic,EVGA would be better

[OAcesync]

Also what country and currency?

I agree, for gaming you gotta go intel, get an i5 4460, 8gb of vram, upgrade your ssd to the samsung evo series (if you can, dont prioritize this) 390 is best if its the same price as 970 and get a 650w gold rated power supply from a trusted brand such as seasonic, evga, coolermaster, antec... (take a look at the evga g2,gs series and coolermaster semimodular series)

I am going to overclock maybe in the 500Mhz to 1 Ghz higher than stock.  And thanks for the no AMD idea I think perhaps a 4590k if I can get it in NY

Also what country and currency?

I am currently in Dubai but I am soon going to New York to buy the Graphics, Processor and RAM as I have lots of space

OK so upgrade PSU I want to get the 16GB as I am upgrading to a multiple monitor use later.

Guys Also what is a good motherboard for a i5 4690k?

[Arkod8607]

I have about another 100 USD to spend should I get a 4790K or an i5 4690K

i5 4690K not need for i7

A decent motherboard in order of more expensive to cheapest

ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer

ASUS Z97 A

MSI Z97 GAMING 5/G45

MSI Z97 SLI Krait Edition

Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3/5

RAM doesnt affect multi monitors it's Vram which is the GPU.
